Expert Verdict
RED FLAG: BSE/TSE risk. Spinal cord is specified risk material (SRM) in cattle over 12 months. If bovine-derived, effectively banned in EU and strongly discouraged in US. Species of origin must be documented. Porcine or fish-derived spinal protein would avoid BSE concern but still requires full safety dossier. No CIR review or standalone toxicological data available. A CPSR assessor would reject without: species origin certificate, TSE certificate of suitability (CEP from EDQM or equivalent), and complete toxicological package.
